We are always looking for exceptionally talented people to join us across a wide range of roles, skills and experience.
"My aim is always to create a recruitment experience that feels professional, transparent and human. We want to understand who candidates are beyond the CV, while giving them the opportunity to really get to know Be, our culture and where their career could take them here." - Amanda Simpson

Why should someone consider joining Be?
One of the things that attracted me to Be was the balance between professionalism and personality. We’re a specialist financial services consultancy delivering complex transformation work for major clients, but we’re also genuinely people-focused.
As a growing business, everyone has the opportunity to make an impact. You’re not just another person in a large organisation. Your ideas are heard, your contribution matters, and you have real visibility across the business.
Most importantly, people here want each other to succeed. There’s a strong sense of collaboration rather than competition, and that’s something candidates consistently tell me they value once they join.
What makes Be different from other consultancies?
We’re specialists.
We focus exclusively on financial services, which means our consultants build genuine depth and credibility within the sector. Our clients trust us because we understand the challenges they’re facing, whether that’s regulatory change, operational transformation, digital delivery, payments, risk, data or technology.
At the same time, we maintain the culture and flexibility of a growing consultancy. You get the opportunity to work directly with senior leaders, contribute ideas and shape your own career path rather than following a predefined route.
What type of work could someone expect to be involved in?
Our consultants work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, helping them deliver complex change through every stage of a transformation programme.
That might involve:
The variety is one of the things people enjoy most. No two projects are exactly the same, and there are plenty of opportunities to broaden your experience.
What kind of person thrives at Be?
Technical capability is important, but mindset matters just as much.
The people who do well here are naturally curious, collaborative and proactive. They’re comfortable working in complex environments and enjoy solving challenging problems for clients.
We look for individuals who can combine strong analytical thinking with great relationship-building skills. Our consultants need to be credible with clients, but they also need to enjoy being part of a team and contributing to our culture.
Above all, we look for people who genuinely want to learn and grow.
What does the culture at Be feel like?
Supportive, collaborative and refreshingly genuine.
When candidates meet us during the recruitment process, they often comment on how approachable everyone is. That’s because authenticity is important to us.
We work hard, we’re ambitious and we’re focused on delivering great outcomes for clients, but we also care about the people around us. There is a strong team spirit, a willingness to help each other and a genuine focus on creating an environment where people can succeed.
What would you say to someone considering applying?
If you’re looking for a place where you can work on interesting financial services transformation projects, continue learning, build meaningful client relationships and be part of a supportive team, I’d encourage you to have a conversation with us.
We’re always interested in meeting talented people, even if the perfect role isn’t available today. Great careers are often built through great conversations, and we’d love to hear your story.
If you have a query or would like to arrange an initial meeting to discuss how we can shape the future of your business, then get in touch and our team will get back to you shortly.
